"The Sonata for Solo Cello is an unaccompanied cello sonata written by György Ligeti between 1948 and 1953. The piece was initially received poorly by the Soviet-run Composer's Union and was not allowed to be published or performed. However, in the 1980s and 90s, after over a quarter century in repose, the piece reemerged and has since become a well-known part of the standard cello repertoire. The Sonata comprises two disjunct movements:
Dialogo - Adagio, rubato, cantabile
Capriccio - Presto con slancio"

First of all, congratulations! After having heard both your performances in 2011 and this one back to back, I have to say this one was evidently more powerful and mature. Thank you for sharing this with all of us :)

great job, you really played all the shit out of this awesome music

[@mathiasjohansencellist]

I'm sure there are ways to download youtube vids ;) But thanks anyways!

[@loboris1995]

Well, this is as good as Perenyi. Well done !

[@mathiasjohansencellist]

loboris1995 Thats quite a compliment! Not quite sure if you're right though, but thanks a lot anyways ;)

[@loboris1995]

Well I just bought the disc of Perenyi and this was in his recital . At your level and at Perenyi's , it's just a matter of taste . Even if Perenyi has more experience , and that ECM recording technique is better then yours :P
